USE OF MEDICATIONS – (5330)

The Board of Education shall not be responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of
student illness. With the exception of diabetes care covered under Policy 5336, the
administration of prescribed medication and/or medically-prescribed treatments to
a student during school hours will be permitted only when failure to do so would
jeopardize the health of the student, the student would not be able to attend school
if the medication or treatment were not made available during school hours, or if the
child is disabled and requires medication to benefit from his/her educational
program.

For purposes of this policy, "medication" shall include all medicines including those
prescribed by a licensed health professional authorized to prescribe drugs and any
nonprescribed (over-the-counter) drugs, preparations, and/or remedies.
"Treatment" refers both to the manner in which a medication is administered and to
health-care procedures which require special training, such as catheterization. No
narcotics shall be administered at school.

Before any prescribed medication (i.e., a drug) or treatment may be administered to
any student during school hours, the Board shall require a written statement from a
licensed health professional authorized to prescribe drugs ("prescriber")
accompanied by the written authorization of the parent (see Form 5330 F1). Before
any nonprescribed medication or treatment may be administered, the Board shall
require the prior written consent of the parent along with a waiver of any liability of
the District for the administration of the medication (see Form 5330 F1a and
Form 5330 F1b). These documents shall be kept in the office of the school clinic,
and made available to the persons designated by this policy as authorized to
administer medication or treatment within one day of school district receipt. No
student is allowed to provide or sell any type of over-the-counter medication or
prescription medication to another student. Violations of this rule will be considered
violations of Policy 5530 - Drug Prevention and of the Student Code of
Conduct/Discipline Code.
